Easy Weight Watchers Coleslaw

This Weight Watchers coleslaw recipe is so easy to make, and if you are tracking macros, it’s great for that! I loved making my original 4-Ingredient coleslaw, but the points were high due to the mayonnaise in the recipe. I knew an easy substitute for Mayonnaise in coleslaw would lower the point value of the side dish.

When I decided to try making coleslaw, finding an easy recipe was essential. If the main dish is complicated, the easier the side dish, the happier I am. Plus, when it comes to last-minute cookouts and BBQs, easy and fast always saves the day.

One of my favorite “tricks” to WW and potluck dinners/potluck BBQs is to ensure I take something I like.

how to make coleslaw

In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, the honey, and the apple cider vinegar. I used a small whisk to make sure that everything combined smoothly to make a creamy coleslaw mixture.

To get the lowest WW Points and calories you will want to use the nonfat greek yogurt, other yogurts will be lower point value then mayo but the zero fat will add no points.

Once the Coleslaw dressing has been mixed, mix in the dry coleslaw mix. I did this by adding half the bag of coleslaw and mixing it with the dressing, then adding the other half.

If you choose to use a head of cabbage, you will need to shred it and the carrots and purple cabbage either with a food processor or a knife.

Once well mixed you can serve or store in the fridge before serving.

Tips From A Former KFC Manager

Fun fact: I worked for KFC as a general manager from 2005-2008, where I made the KFC Coleslaw daily. The employees wore gloves up to their elbows to mix the dry cabbage mix with the premixed dressing. You could easily tell the pockets of dry coleslaw apart.

Additionally, they allow their coleslaw to be prepared up to 6 hours in advance before serving or overnight. They then package into containers or pans for the line.

How To Store Weight Watchers coleslaw with Greek yogurt

Store the coleslaw in the fridge in an airtight container for 3-5 days. The liquid from the creamy dressing will settle at the bottom, so be sure to stir well before serving or transferring it to a serving dish, such as a large bowl or a big bowl.
